💡 Painting Tips

  • Standard paint coverage: 350-400 sq ft per gallon
  • Primer coverage: typically same as paint
  • Rough/textured surfaces need 20-30% more paint
  • Dark to light colors: use 2 coats minimum
  • Ceiling paint has different finish (usually flat)
  • Trim/baseboards use semi-gloss or high-gloss
  • Always buy slightly more than calculated
  • 1 quart = 0.25 gallons, covers ~90 sq ft
